Engineering Programme - Year 1
The common-core curriculum in year 1 provides students with broad-based multi-disciplinary engineering training:
- Technical and scientific courses make up 70% of the curriculum with the remaining 30% of the programme devoted to business sciences, social sciences, modern languages and sport.
- A total of 748 hours of classes are thus delivered over two semesters, including 168 hours of elective courses.
- Students benefit from first-hand professional experience during year 1 with a student business project in the second semester and a 4-week internship to discover the business world in July/August.
- Students also commit to a civic engagement during their first year of studies whereby they make a contribution to society through volunteer work.
- Through a large choice of courses on offer in Business Sciences, students will grasp the reality of the industrial world: self-knowledge to integrate into the company, professional attitude, entrepreneurship and innovation.
